Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 53.7/100, a mean average of 52.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 52.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

A below ordinary offering from the greatest songwriter of all time. Nothing here to recommend - even Brownsville Girl doesn't impress me. I'd feel embarrassed to recommend this album to anyone.

If this album had not contained the majestic Brownsville girl, it would have been one of the most pointless releases in music history. You really have to be extremely biased to find any other redeeming factors here. Having said that, some of it is just about bearable, I actually can just about enjoy the last track, under your spell, and got my mind made up, is just about above terrible. But as I said, Brownsville girl is where it's at on this record. Brilliant, possibly Bob's best song of the eighties. The rest? Forget it.

Only Brownsville Girl saves this album from being a waste of vinyl.
